Honestly I may say gently caress it and still go. Not the nice thing to do, but were not especially close anyway.

Just say you already got the tickets and that they were super expensive so you have to go :)

I'll let you know when I get them, not sure exactly yet how many I'm gonna get, the Firestone rep is waiting until the last minute for whatever reason.

So what's the best way to sell guns? My wife's father left her some and we need to get rid of them to get more guns we actually want. There are a ton of gun shops around here that buy/sell but I'm guessing they will only give me about half of what they are actually worth. One of them is an old relic from that could be worth quite a bit.

[e] it's a C&R Iver Johnson Arms & Cycle Work Safety Revolver, made in the late 1800's.

Well there's a lot of knowledgeable gun guys in here, would rather not post in TFR if I don't have to.

I figured "how to sell" was a general enough question.....I usually use CL to sell poo poo but you can't sell guns on CL.

Ever get yourself out of a relationship and the more time that goes, the more you realise you should never have gotten into it in the first place?

Yep been there, after ending a two year relationship with a legit crazy woman I recalled when I almost ended it right before we moved in together, but then let her talk me out of it. I learned to trust my instincts after that one and would drop a woman like a hot potato at the slight hint of any kind of crazy, so I guess it helped me in the long run :v:

Ha, my wife is taking her mom to the festival tomorrow because she has never been, is it even worth going to these days? Last time I went about ten years ago it was a waste of time, it was like a traveling carnival that I can see when it's down the street from my house, not even worth the drive over there.

Hey, I have a busted-rear end one of those!





Gunbroker may be your best option, but I don't know if there's a collector's market for them. Definitely don't shoot it without being super careful about ammunition, they were proofed for black powder, not smokeless, so using modern ammo in them can make them grenade.

Hey cool, ours is in the exact shape that that one is in. I never planned on shooting it anyway, so no worries. From what I've researched so far it seems it's worth about 400-500 in that condition, does that sound about right?

Edit: I was down in your neck of the woods today, goddamn gently caress why is every road in and out a loving toll road

Lol what, the only toll road is the crosstown and that's optional. Just take I-4 to 275 south, no tolls.

If you come up through the south over the Skyway then you pay one toll for the bridge.

682 (685?) To skyway.

Because I4 was so goddamn bad at the 275 interchange we did the crosstown (toll) so we got hit on there, the other road, and the bridge.

This time of year the crosstown won't be much better honestly. Depending where you're going in St.Pete, it's probably quicker and easier coming up from the south end even tho it's longer distance, and you only have one toll at the Skyway, take 75 down to 275 then back up. Or whatever way you want to take to 275 will work.

Oh my sweet summer child head on over to the RC thread here in our fine sub-forum for RC chat. The Slash is neat and all and the OBA is cool - at first but you will turn it off because it gets obnoxious.

Or you could get a real engine affixed that makes real noises. Like this 65cc reed cased two stroke monster (on the left) that we stuff into 1/5 scales:



the company that puts this together just announced a 90cc variant this weekend that reaches 17,000 RPM (under load). It will destroy all of the drivetrains.

The OBA would be more for my son he'll love it.....But yeah I'm sure I'll get sick of it after awhile :v:

The Stampede I got him is too high, it constantly flips over when he tries to race my Rustler so he wants a Slash so he can at least compete with me through the turns.

No interest in getting into nitro, electric is just fine and affordable so far :)

I was gonna longpost this but then decided not to.

My reasons for moving to and living where I do have decided to divest themselves of the area and move somewhere a couple hours away. I'm mad. I'm not mad at them for it, I'm mad at myself for ever having moved up here in the first place. I'm mad at myself for buying this house, getting my lovely as gently caress job, and doing it for reasons other than self-benefit. I'm mad that I've squandered several more years of my life with this bullshit.

I'm now actively job hunting in an area I don't really want to live in either and considering an up to 3 hour commute just so that I can eventually get out of this shithole city.

I wonder what the look on my boss' face is gonna be when on Friday night I ask him if I can use him as a reference.

We moved from Florida to western New York for a job to manage a campground, it all went horribly wrong and I completely regretted doing it within the first week of being there. Short story is we were dumb and didn't get anything in writing from the owners and took them for their word. We tried to make the best of it and lasted two seasons before we had it out with the owners and told them to gently caress off. Luckily, we rented our house in FL instead of selling it, so when the lease was up for the tenants we kicked them out and moved back. It was a complete waste of time and money (we went broke because of it) but i guess it was a valuable experience, or at least that's what i tell myself.

I feel for you man, hope you figure things out and get to where you wanna be.

Remember Ryan White, the famous kid with AIDS? We moved to central Indiana at the same time as his family. My new school thought I was him and put out a memo to all teachers (without doing any research as he was several years older than me). Thus began three solid years of extreme bullying. I was taunted with chants of AIDS-BOY and brutalized. I can't even remember the number of times I went home bloody. It never stopped, not until we moved away. The school did nothing and we were unable to find a lawyer who thought we could effectively sue over the memo.

So yeah, you'd think I'd have gotten my hands on some guns at some point right?
